I love this song; it's one of my favorites off that album

this song always happens to get stuck in my head! and like many have said already, i can definitely relate to the lyrics.

Posted

I have it in my sig. :woot:

God, I still can't believe this song is the SOTW. Like, I've been smiling about it since yesterday :D:lol:

I'm glad it's making you happy :).

I really do like everything about this song - primarily the thoughts behind it, but I also think Billie sounds perfect singing it - even though he didn't write it. I love the long drawn out TheeeEere's too.

I associate this song with my Green Day concert. :wub:

Absolutely brilliant night that was, and this song is great.

Yeah, I love the drawn out words as well. Maybe he was trying to create a sense of prolonging memories by saying it like that? :lol:

Not my fav from 1039/SOSH but I especially love this part:

<Looking back upon my life>

On my life

<Faded memories on the wall>

On the wall

<Looking now at who I am>

Who am I?

<I don’t let it get me down>

Why should I let it get me down?

And I never knew John wrote that song. :o :o

that is one amazing song ! :o

amazing lyrics !!!

Strange i was listening to this song when i had to walk to the shop and i was thinking about it. When i first got this album this was the song i loved the most and i listened to it all the time. It still is one of my favourites on the album. Every time I listen to it i think about Al Sobrante for some reason, but it also reminds me of the best two days of my life - the two Green Day gigs i went to in October. This really is a great song!

I think it's mad how some people don't particularly like the song because John wrote it. The fact that he's not in the band anymore shouldn't damage the general feeling about it...he was in Green Day at the time the song was recorded, and perhaps written, and one's judgement shouldn't be clouded because of the absence of Tre.

Well, that's just my thought on it :/

^ yea Tre wasn't recording any songs from 39/smooth, do you really think that would stop people from liking the record? :blink:

anyway it is a wonderful choice! i automatically clung to this song when i first got the album and i still do,

ironically the one song John wrote is one of the album's best tracks imo

:wub:

Well people have mentioned that they're not very fond of it because he wrote it. So who knows?

I really like the melody of this song, probably the most interesting melody on the album. Especially "I was there-ere-ere, I was there-ere-ere!" :happy:. I love the lyrics too. It's such a lovely bittersweet, reflective song.

Posted

I listened to this song for the first time in ages last night and have absolutely no idea why I dont listen to it more often. Great song.

Posted

I just got 1039/SOSH for christmas, and I love that song!!

It's such a brilliant album overall.

I think the reason is 'cause Green Day have many great songs and you don't have enough time to listen to every song.

Posted

I always tear up during this song, I don't know why.

Posted

Posted

Posted

Posted
